The support local initiative is really gaining speed. A lot of people are boycotting the traditional Starbucks and going to local places like Freedom of Espresso, Recess, Kind Coffee or Cafe Kubal. …are we hooked on caffeine here??

Cafe Kubal is located in a few spots around the city. Have you seen the stand at the airport?!

Did anyone notice there are only 65 days left in 2013? Not like I’m counting or anything…

This weekend has been very bleak. The weather has really reminded us that winter is coming.

BUT…and that’s a big BUT. Now is the time to embrace the non-snowy roads, the still somewhat colorful leaves on the trees and some sunshine…and even though it’s been kind of raining and gloomy you gotta make the best of it.

One of my favorite things to snack on is Pumpkin Seeds. Roasted pumpkin seeds are delicious…and if you go to critz farms, prepare to bring home a pumpkin that’s huge & has lots and lots of seeds in it!

They’re open on the weekends from 10am-5/6pm. There’s a corn maze, a cafe, a gift shop, cider making demonstrations, a cidery (!!!), and live music on the weekends. It’s truly a fun place to go! Gather your friends or your family (or both!) and get your pumpkin before it’s too late!

This is no joke guys…going to frightmare farms might result in having to sleep with the lights on for a few weeks.

This is the last weekend for Frightmare. At $12 a ticket (or $1 off for student, EMS, police, Fire and military with a valid ID) you get access to over 5000 ft of scary. Be prepared for the haunted of all haunted houses, the scariest of all scary halloween adventures…
